Terbinafine hydrochloride
Description:
Terbinaforce 250 Tab contains terbinafine hydrochloride, an oral antifungal medication. It belongs to the allylamine class of antifungals and is used to treat fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis) and skin, including tinea infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), and jock itch (tinea cruris), as well as yeast infections of the skin.
Terbinafine works by inhibiting squalene epoxidase, an enzyme essential for the synthesis of ergosterol in fungi. Ergosterol is a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, and its deficiency disrupts the integrity and function of the membrane, leading to fungal cell death.
The oral formulation of terbinafine, such as Terbinaforce 250 Tab, is particularly effective for treating nail infections, which are often difficult to eradicate with topical treatments due to poor penetration into the nail bed. It is also used for extensive or severe skin infections that are not adequately controlled by topical antifungals.
